Diablos Locos Carnaval 2007 Tenerife
Performance by the murga group, Los Diablos Locos (The Crazy Devils), winners of the first prize for interpretation (and bravery) at the 2007 Carnaval in Santa Cruz.
Los Diablos Locos is the second oldest murga group in Tenerife, founded in 1965. They were fronted for many years by the charismatic, Tomás Carvajal Rodríguez, ?Tom Carby?, who left the group shortly before his death in 1994. The current director of Los Diablos Locos is Tomás Francisco Carvajal Morales, whom, I think we can assume with reasonable safety, is his son.
There is also a video of their 2006 performance here and those who understand the words will note that certain political themes remain pretty constant. :)
